* NotHisSled: Beast was treated with an experimental procedure. It has not been tested in humans yet, but it gave good results in apes, except for a pair that turned blue. If you were expecting this to kickstart Beast's blue mutation, keep waiting, it just [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair made his head hair blue]]

Lame Excuse is a disambiguation now. Moving examples to the tropes listed on it if they apply, deleting them if there is no clearly corresponding trope


* LameExcuse: The Brotherhood gave a 15 minutes warning to let people evacuate a building, but Quicksilver blew it in 3. Wanda tries to justify him saying that 15 minutes must feel like forever when your heart beats 25 times a second. Cyclops thinks that excuse does not make any sense.

* EvilWelcomesDefectors: Cyclops got tired with the slow pace of Xavier's methods, so he left the X-Men and joined the Brotherhood. He had some concerns about the unneeded slaughter of civilians, but stayed on board. But, when Magneto takes control of an army of Sentinels, and head to Washington DC to raze the city, that was too much and he returned to the X-Men... convincing Quicksilver to betray his father in the meantime.

She does not wear opera gloves like the mainstream character, but in one scene she was drawn with them (even when she wasn't wearing them in the immediately previous scene).

* BeleagueredBoss: Realizing that Cyclops is a very valuable recruit, Magneto puts him in charge of the next operation, and accepts to do it respecting his "ThouShaltNotKill" rule, so the people in the building receive a warning and have 15 minutes to flee. But his new underlings did not care, rushed the explosion, and many people died as they initially intended. Cyclops is then angry with them, for not following his orders.

Mastermind can not get the Scarlet Witch to treat him like anything but dirt, the Scarlet Witch can not get Cyclops to even notice her, Cyclops is too shy to ask Jean to go on a date, and Beast is too shy to open to Storm. Wolverine managed to score with Jean, but ruined their relation forever when he confessed his mission within the X-Men.
